Featured Quilt - Running Circles Around the Competition

Playin' Around by Linda Hungerford was featured in the Piecing category at Quiltcon 2022. Linda writes about her circular quiltmaking journey, "My plunge into an exploration of circles - inset circles, inset half circles, quarter circles, and appliqué circles - was initiated by a virtual workshop with Cassandra Beaver; the South Florida MQG's "Curve Around Challenge;" an Instagram win of Benartex Superior Solids fat quarters; and blocks seen in "The Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Blocks." A happy stash find was a piece of large scale black and white checked print that I cut and pieced to unify the blocks."

Come back tomorrow and learn about our Transform You Quilting program. Hint...you'll be making circles in no time...

The Quilt Show Puzzle: You're In For A Great Surprise
"Surprise" by Mary McCauley

Surprise was made for the Quilting Symposium in New Zealand that Mary taught at in 2017. While made of fabric, it is a non-traditional quilt as it folds open and shut. While shut it has a beautiful rainbow and diamond design on the outside, but when open displays one of Mary's fabulous pop-up quilts made of fabric, hence the "surprise" of the title. The design was inspired by one her previous quilts, Bargello, and pop-up work she had seen cut out of paper. Alex and Ricky both thought the pop-up looked liked a cityscape. What does it remind you of?
